met Place.

The friends Of the late Gen. Logan expect that
monuments will be raised in his memory both in
this city and In Chicago but as yet there has been
no organized effort in this direction because OF
the desire on the part Of all to complete the funds
which are now being raised for the beneft of Mrs.
Logan. The national fund which Capt. Lemon
started now amounts to $50 900, and it is the in
tention to bring it up to 100000 The citizens OF
Chicago have also contributed $4,000 to q fund
for the payment OF encumbrances now resting
opon the home OF Mrs Logan in this city. This
money was deposited in Riggs bank in this city to
the order OF Mrs. Logan, and to-day Col. NJ. M.
Parker called on her and obtaining from her q
check, went to the bank, and paid on the notes.
Later In the day he presented to Mrs. Logan the
cancelled notes, and she now owns the house known
as Calumet Place, on Columbia Heights, free from
all encumbrances. Mrs. LOgan's gratitude was
expressed in q letter to VIM. Penn Nixon, OF Chi
cag0, thanking him for his efforts and those who
had contributed 80 generously to her future COM
fort To-day the children and heirs OF Gen. Logan,
his son John A. Logan, Jr. and his daughter, Mrs
Tucker, with her husband, Major Tucker, united
in deed conveying all their right and interest as
heirs in the house to Mrs Logan that the house
her property solely. AS Gen. Logan died intestate
this action on the part OF the heirs Of course
entirely voluntary.
It Is expected the movement for monument to
Gen. Logan will originate either with the Grand
Army posts or Army OF the Tennessee The latter
body meets in Detroit In September next and It Is
probable that the movement VIII take DEFINITE
shape then.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE report OF the royal COM
mission on the depression OF trade appears this
morning. The commissioners are by no means OF
one mind. They have issued three separate re-
ports, with the exception OF one report signed by
the four so-called fair traders the dissentient
ports are not important, the signers OF them con-
sloer1ng that the majority has taken too favorable
view OF the case. The conclusions reached are
somewhat peculiar. 1t is true, the commissioners
say, there has been depression OF trade but this
was not national calamity, inasmuch as the ma
tlon mas been the gamer, while special trades
have suffered. Furthermore trade depression IL is
shown by different kind OF statistics exists not
so much among the laboring poorer class as among
the capitalists. The causes which have contribu-
ted 10 bring abaut the depfesSon as set forth by
the witnesses are thus summarized: J. overpro-
duction; 1, continuous fall OF prices, caused by
the appreciation OF the standard OF value: 3 the
effect of foreign tariffs, bountes and the restrc-
tive commercial policies OF foreign countries in
limiting our market; 4, foreign competition which
we are beginning TO feel both liz our own and neu-
tral markets; D. increase OF local taxation and
burdens on Industry In general; g. cheaper rates
OF carriage enjoyed by our foreign competitors; T.
legislation affecting the employment OF labor In
industrial undertakings; s, the superior technical
education OF workmen In foreign countries The
crisis has been unusually prolonged, and has
